Paychex Junior Achievement Discovery Center
In the JA Discovery Center, middle and high school students leave behind their life lives as students and become engaged citizens in our economy. They will not only learn about in-demand careers in our community, but they will actually perform a job for the day. They will not only spend the wages they earn, but they must spend responsibility in the Discovery Center, opening a bank account and make buying decisions within a budget. They will not only see how our local economy works, but they will collectively run it.

After completing the classroom curriculum, students will come to our center to compete in the JA Stock Market Challenge.
